It is definatly normal. I have been going through this since I was 14, and fortunatly, I've waited so far. I still can't help wanting one. But before everyone post on here saying how much work having a kid is, because they know a lot better than I do about that, I'll just say this: I can see where you're coming from. However, it's kind of selfish to have a child just so you can feel better about yourself, because you can call it your own. I can understand thinking and wanting that. But please don't act on your thoughts just because you want someone to love you just because it's all they know. No one should have children for that reason. It's not about you, it's about the child. So if you want to get pregnant because you want a little one to depend on you so you can feel good about yourself, please don't...
And I'm not trying to be a bitch. I know this only because I want the same thing, for someone to love me and look up to me, and have me be able to give it everything in the world. Then I thought it all through, and it's really not fair to a poor child to have to live in poverty etc etc because their parents were young. It's not realistic. It's about the baby, not about us child-loving someday-parents, ya know?
Don't get me wrong, every parent on this forum, and many more young parents I know, make it work and are better parents at their young age than half the older parents I know! But that is because most didn't intend on it happening, and they're making the best of it. Trust me, just wait until you have a stable job and career going, and are commited to someone who is committed back.

Good luck hun, please wait...
